The Thrissur Cyber Police have registered a case concerning a social media post alleging CPI leader V S Sunil Kumar's switch to Congress. This investigation follows a complaint filed by Kumar himself.
The controversial Facebook posts, which appeared on January 15, suggested that the former minister was poised to join the Congress party. After learning of these claims, Kumar sought legal intervention, prompting the State Police Chief to instruct the Thrissur Cyber Police to probe the matter.
According to the First Information Report, the posts originated from a Facebook account managed by an individual named Suja George. Police authorities have initiated efforts to trace the account holder and determine the source of the misleading posts. This case follows a similar one involving Congress leader Shanimol Usman alleged to join CPI(M).
